Gaming on a Budget

Not only does it feel great not to pick up the bill on a date but it also pays to be a cheap-ass when it comes to purchasing games. Unless you've lived under a rock for the past year or so, the world's economy is in shambles but thanks to great word of mouth, and companies being really generous with their offerings, it's a little of Column A, and a little of Column B. This article will show off some of the better deals in gaming in the past, present, and future, spanning all gaming platforms and genres.

This holiday will probably be the first time, is anyone else having trouble deciding which games to buy this holiday season? I'm actually praying some games will get delayed.

The PS3 "Greatest Hits" games are always nice to purchase even though they're old titles. Renting games is now a viable option for me.

Usually I save up for the games I know i want and then there are the occasional times where I go "I have a bit of extra cash....i'll try something random". Those days are over for me this year. Laid off for one of my part time jobs so only have a few hours of work a week to earn money (i'm a student)

Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.

Skull5212019d ago

Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.

To not have another Left 4 Dead is straight up criminal.

How Valve released five of its greatest games in a single day

The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.

And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.

Man 2007 was a great year for gaming.

OpenGL2383d ago

Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.

The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.

AuraAbjure2383d ago

shut up valve....give me HL3....

FallenAngel19842392d ago

Back when Valve made a lot of great titles

-Foxtrot2391d ago

Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.

At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.

Reefskye2390d ago (Edited 2390d ago )

Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
